CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM, OR CK GOSPEL CHOIR

Children of the Kingdom, or CK Gospel Choir as they're more commonly known, are a 16 piece group from London, UK, who are united by their love of gospel music. They believe that Gospel music is for everyone.

The group was started in 2007 by Harlano.Harlano has performed with some of the biggest names in world music such as Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Leona Lewis, Enrique Iglesias and Phil Collins. He is also an established solo artist, and his debut solo album "WhoIsHarlano" topped various soul charts.

I wanted to create something that was true to my gospel roots but that was also different, new and exciting. I also knew that I wanted this to be something where we were taking gospel music to new areas. I knew so many talented singers that I thought that we could make a difference together."

The group started with some of the most talented gospel, soul, jazz singers in the UK and quickly added more singers and musicians. The group then took their musical direction from the those involved. "We had so many different styles of singers and musicians that it became only natural to mix traditional gospel with jazz, soul, blues, classical and latin genres. As we evolve and grow, so does the sound of the choir"Today CK Gospel Choir are an established force in the European gospel scene. As well as performing at venues such as the Jazz Cafe, the Pigalle Club and Handlebeurs, they have also provided backing for high profile artists such as Mica Paris, Alfie Boe and Marsha Ambrosius.

CK Gospel Choir, with their unique blend of close harmonies and "gospel fusion" can be hired for all occasions such as weddings, tours, private functions or church events.

"I really like the versatility of this group. One minute we're performing on stage in front of thousands and the next we're performing at a civil ceremony. We bring our energy and intensity to EVERY performance"

Other Requirements

I would like to say thank you for organising this event. The clients, myself and staff that attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Comments from the clients following Saturday:-

“They were awesome” (From D) “Absolutely Amazing” (From W) “Can we see them again” (From M) “I thought they were mesmerizing” (From one of the staff)

“ Both Harlano and Emma were fantastic. It was such a joy that day to see all the clients so happy and all fully engaged in the workshop, even those that had limited abilities had continuous beaming smiles on their faces. I didn’t want the workshop to end and I am sure the clients all felt the same. They have since been positively talking about the experience non-stop” (From Terri Holliday – Recreation Officer)

I would like CK Gospel Choir to come back to the centre again for one evening, next year, where I am looking to hold a fundraising event for friends and family and it would be great to have some more members of the CK Gospel Choir hold a performance to the guests that night. Please could you kindly provide me with a price guide.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

With Kind regards,

Terri
